Frequently asked questions
Booking trios and small bands in Sydney
How many trios and small bands can I choose from in Sydney?
bookentertainment.com.au lists 70 trios and small bands in and around Sydney. You can shortlist as many as you like and send one enquiry to all of them at once, rather than contacting each act separately.
How far in advance should I book a trio in Sydney?
Popular dates go first, so for a Saturday in peak season the earlier the better. If your date is close, it is still worth enquiring: availability changes, and sending one enquiry to several acts is the fastest way to find who is free.
What do I get back after enquiring?
A written quote from each act you shortlisted, so you can compare what is included side by side rather than piecing it together from separate phone calls. Enquiring is free and there is no obligation to book.
